Come to Drink Tea (1)

Japanese : kissako
Brief explanation ; A Zen priest said to everyone when someone came to the temple of Zen. The Zen priest said to him: “Have you ever been here?” Even if the visitor said “yes” or “no”, this Zen priest always suggested to everyone,” come to drink a tea. ”Another priest asked to him, “why do you always ask the same question ?” The priest said: ”come to drink a tea.” We don’t need to analyze his thinking. He is just absorbed in the suggestion of drinking a tea without any discretion. It is to say that he had already attained the spiritual enlightenment. This is a very famous phrase in Tea’s World.
